@gjcyrus Sorry, I cannot specifically confirm compliance with AUM for any of these. But there is a list of mixers and interfaces that works with Auria, which is a good indication:

Thanks. I'll check out that link. That's a good point you make that if Auria works with a particular interface therefore it should work with what I'm trying to achieve.

Hello all, I just bought the Yamaha MG10XU but as my situation is slightly different from OP, don't want to derail this thread to my specific situation so started this thread instead:

https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/19364/please-help-using-drum-app-such-as-seekbeats-with-individual-outs-via-aum-into-hardware-mixer#latest

Basically I'm NOT able to have access to the 10 channels via Yamaha mixer, only L+R or L or R via AUM.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: Sorry, just re-read your response @Telefunky

if you connect such a mixer via a powered hub to an IOS device it shows up as a single stereo input/output unit.
The channels are not accessible individually. They are a hell to setup even for traditional guitar/vocal stuff if signal separation is a concern and never get beyond a compromise.

I'm not aware of any budget unit that shows it's channel inputs as individual destinations in IOS. Some show their mixer channel output as an IOS input, but that's the reverse of what you're after.
The classical solution is a multichannel USB interface featuring single outputs and connect those to a Mixer. Not cheapo and much cable salad.

A more viable (imho) approach would be to delegate the mixer job to an app that can handle the output of multiple apps - Kymatica's AUM comes to mind as it's easy to setup AND easy to handle even on touch only.
Never checked the details but afaik the faders can be set to midi controllers if you really need something between fingertips.
There's a wide variety in handling touch response, not all apps do this equally.
Imho the 'better' ones can keep up with physical faders and dials and some even outperform their real-world counterparts.

You are correct in that it only shows up as a single stereo input/output. Lame. Sorry, need to vent. But for some reason I though I could access all the individual drum parts via a hardware mixer and AUM.

A couple of suggestions

http://www.allen-heath.com/ahproducts/zedi-10FX/ only 4 channel

@DeVlaeminck - Just to confirm. Would you happen to know if those 3 mixers (specifically the Zedi as it's the cheapest) have ability to work with AUM to have multiple individual outs with it's own channel in those mixers or only one similar to the scenario me and Telefunky described with the Yamaha MG10XU?

pretty much the only mixer that has what you want, 10 ins and 8 outs, Is the Keith Mcmillen K-mix. it also lets you add the mixers own effects before sending it to AUM to record.

Thanks for reply. I'll check out K-mix as well. Price range is higher than the Allen Heath mixer but if that's the only option, then I guess that's what it'll have to be.

you're probably best off with a mixer that offers a lot of RCA style inputs and then just use small jack to RCA cables. Most of music mixers have one RCA in so I'd look at any DJ mixers.

3 iPads ? What a strange idea !
Berhinger's are indeed very nice for the price , I have a qx 1222usb.
I like the effect section.

I must say that I really like the specs of your Yamaha , I don't get yet what effects are included , but usb , compact , as Yamaha is a good brand I think I would go for that...

why is that strange I have 4 iPads all doing different things at the same time its IOS HEAVEN lol

Don't own one so not sure. But I think it has Mackie emulation so it should work.
